Jenn says, "Now is your chance to be part of something bigger. We're having a guerilla freeART show in New York City and we need your art!"

Today, she will be hosting the sidewalk freeART show. Anyone passing by will receive a piece of freeART. As a result, Jenn was looking for collage artists to participate by sending in 6" x 6" collages.

Here is my collage submission.

Items in the collage include postage stamps, a painted hummingbird, printed art words, gold leafing, sections of script letters, butterfly cut outs, rubber stamp lettering and stamp cancellation marks.You can follow the activities on Facebook.com/clothpaperscissorsmag or find her on twitter:

Making the collage was so much fun that I decided to create a new series of these 6"x 6" collages. Here's one of my favorites.

Such a great idea to give away art. Someone here is going to be really lucky – must give butterflies in the stomach to receive it! Very powerful, expressive and filled with music – thanks! That’s energy!! Look forward to next post in the series.

oooh, i may be too late but if not, i want to participate! how fun to be a part of something so big. your pieces are gorgeous, miss jilly. i love the colors and of course the butterflies and stamps. so jilly, and so lovely! the humming bird is so lovely that i want to get it tattooed on my right arm.

when i do the alberta art fair (an open air art market in the summer) i pick one person to give a piece to. the NY event sounds WAY better and more fun. and oddly, i just cut up some pieces of 6x6 book board the other day without a real vision of what i was going to do with it. guess i know now.

Oh, so some lucky person will go home with your collage. What a lucky person, and what an incredible idea! I also love this piece, and seeing your series begin... the butterfly and the stamps and that gorgeous red-orange. May your year be filled with energy, creativity and art.And most of all, I can hardly wait for our time together at the end of March!!!roxanne
